This shows that no open-source project can really be directed from the US, or if they are then a fork should exist and be maintained by BRICS citizens who are obviously viewed as lesser, at least in the Linux project.
This wasn't a decision made based on sanctions, it was just an excuse given but no actual evidence of Linux being required to act on them was ever given.
I don't think they mean "people who wouldn't have cats as pets", there are tons of valid reasons not to want cats as pets, such as the two you described, and I wouldn't say that you "don't like cats" given those two reasons
